He was a member of the famous Artists' Colonie in Darmstadt until 1906. See the excellent Wikipedia article: "Darmstadt Artists' Colony" where Cissarz is mentioned as designing the "Blue House" in 1904.

"TRAUER" is a small piece, but very rare, as it was very likely published directly by the artist at the time, meaning in a very small edition.

His works, beautiful nudes, or women by the Northern beaches rarely surface.

A minimalist artwork, with the most sober tones ( a subdued purple, gray and brown) "TRAUER" is incredibly powerful!

If you look long enough at the woman slumping with grief in front of her window facing the Northern Sea, you can only feel the intensity of her sorrow.

A Fisherman's wife or mother, she had been waiting for them at the same window for all these years, and then one day possibly they never returned.

An absolute treasure!
